In SI units, it is measured in radians per second squared (rad/s2), and usually denotes by the Greek letter alpha ({alpha},). For constant values of angular acceleration, a rotating body conforms to the rotational equations of motion, in particular: The introduction to this article provides insufficient context for those unfamiliar with the subject matter. ... Two distinct views exist on the meaning of time. ... Cover of brochure The International System of Units. ... The radian is a unit of plane angle. ... Look up second in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. ... Alpha (uppercase Α, lowercase α) is the first letter of the Greek alphabet. ...

τ is torque
I is moment of inertia.

Torque applied via a crescent wrench Relationship between force, torque, and momentum vectors in a rotating system In physics, torque can informally be thought of as rotational force or angular force which causes a change in rotational motion. ... Moment of inertia, also called mass moment of inertia and, sometimes, the angular mass, (SI units kg m2, English units ft lb s2) quantifies the rotational inertia of an object, i. ...

Rotational Quantities (488 words)
Angular velocity can be considered to be a vector quantity, with direction along the axis of rotation in the right-hand rule sense.
Angular velocity is the rate of change of angular displacement and angular acceleration is the rate of change of angular velocity.
The rotation equations represent a complete set of equations for constant angular acceleration rotations, but in certain types of problems, intermediate results must be calculated before proceeding to the final calculation.
